Job Title

Risk Management Specialist

Why You Will Love This Organization

Our client is a long-established Canadian subsidiary of a global organization, recognized as a leader in heating, cooling, and ventilation technologies as well as advanced electronic solutions. Operating in Canada since 1979, the organization is known for innovation, energy efficiency, and high-performance systems designed to meet Canada’s climate and regulatory requirements.

The culture reflects a workplace that is calm, respectful, ethical, and quality-driven —combined with a modern and collaborative environment. Employees value professionalism, trust, and long-term thinking, making this an excellent environment for individuals who take pride in doing thoughtful, meaningful work.

The Impact You Will Have

As the Risk Management Specialist, you will play a key role in strengthening the organization’s risk, compliance, and governance capabilities. Working within a small, high-trust team, you will help reduce operational burden, improve processes, and ensure risks are identified and managed effectively across the business. Your work will directly support leadership decision-making and enable the department to grow and mature.

What You Will Do

  • Conduct due diligence and background checks on vendors, customers, and partners
  • Identify and document financial, vendor, supply chain, and customer-related risks
  • Apply established risk assessment tools and frameworks to support analysis
  • Escalate risks clearly and professionally with summaries and recommendations
  • Support audit activities and compliance inquiries, including international requests
  • Assist with internal governance and compliance initiatives, including HR-related compliance
  • Conduct compliance and legal research as required
  • Handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion and sound judgment
  • Work closely with HR, Sales, and other internal teams to support enterprise-wide risk and compliance needs
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, documentation, and administrative workflows
  • Leverage technology to enhance organization, efficiency, and consistency

What You Will Bring

  • Approximately 3–5 years of relevant professional experience (risk, compliance, regulatory, operations, engineering, or related fields preferred)
  • Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail
  • Comfort working in an administratively heavy role with accountability and follow-through
  • Ability to think independently, exercise sound judgment, and work with minimal supervision
  • High level of professionalism, integrity, and discretion
  • Strong business acumen and common sense
  • Curiosity, adaptability, and a genuine desire to learn and grow
  • Strong proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, Teams); experience with AI-enabled tools (e.g., Copilot) is an asset
  • This role prioritizes the right person and mindset over narrowly defined experience.

    Work Environment

  • Hybrid work model : 3 days onsite per week in Markham
  • Typical hours : 9 : 00 AM – 5 : 00 PM (approximately)
  • Small, lean team environment with high ownership and visibility
  • No regular travel anticipated
  • If you are a detail-oriented, independent professional who enjoys working across the business and building a career in risk and compliance, we encourage you to apply.

  • Use of Artificial Intelligence – By Recruiters & Hiring Managers At The Talent Company, people are at the centre of our recruitment process. While we may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools for limited administrative purposes (such as writing creative outreach messages, summarizing interview notes, or transcribing reference checks), AI is never the decision maker. Resumes and candidate information are personally reviewed by our recruiters, and all hiring decisions are made by people who bring judgment, care, and expertise to each match.

    If a client’s recruitment process involves a greater degree of AI use during their own interviews or assessments, we will communicate that to short-listed candidates in advance. Our commitment is to use technology responsibly, while ensuring fairness, transparency, and respect at every stage of the process.

    Use of Artificial Intelligence – By Candidates We recognize that candidates may choose to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support their job search, such as refining writing style or conducting research. While this can be appropriate, the information you provide in your resume, screening questions, and interviews must always be truthful and accurately reflect your own experience, knowledge, and competencies. AI should never be used to create or exaggerate credentials.

    Our goal is to understand the real you—your skills, your story, and your potential—so we can make the best possible match between you and the organizations we serve.

    Accommodation & Inclusivity At The Talent Company, we recognize the value of different perspectives and experiences in prompting innovation, sparking creativity, and solving problems. As an equal employment opportunity organization, we do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment based on race, Aboriginal peoples, members of visible minorities, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, persons with disabilities, or any other category protected by law.

    We are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Please let us know by emailing if an adjustment or adaptation is required at any stage to support you during the recruitment journey.
